Date field validation using Jira workflow validator

[Sandesh TM]

I am having issue in date field validation using Jira workflow 'Date expression compare' validator. And one strange observation is if I am using '>=' expression for validation against 'now' (todays date) keyword it seems to be working good but if I am using '=' expression for validation against now keyword is not working properly. It is throwing the error even we select today date .

Hi @Sandesh TM 

Dates fields don't work with "=" that often, as they're captured in the system as date/time.

You need to use multiple validators to get a specific day - eg.

• Date is >= Start of Day AND
• Date < End of Day

What's the logic you're trying to validate specifically?

I need to have a validation that the date field value must be today date only, not any other dates.

Hi @Sandesh TM ,

If you use 2 validators like @Stephen Wright _Elabor8_ is telling, you get the answer you are looking for. Both validators must pass, else the transition will fail.

Hi @Sandesh TM 

Just to check - is this a condition, or a validator? And which one are you using?

Hi @Sandesh TM ,

May I ask, do you have server/data center or cloud?

For cloud, use the following:

I am also using the same as you using.
